NFL 2018: One roster cut each team should make, but won’t

Baltimore Ravens: Robert Griffin III

After sitting out all of last season since no teams were showing interest, Robert Griffin III was all excited to sign with the Baltimore Ravens this offseason with the hope of backing up Joe Flacco while maybe convincing the team he would be worth the starting role down the road. Whether Flacco wants to admit it or not, the former Super Bowl MVP isn’t getting any younger, and nobody would be surprised to see him call it a career after another year or two.

With that being said, chances are Griffin wasn’t too thrilled over the fact that Baltimore traded back into the end of the first round in April to land Louisville’s own Lamar Jackson, who has put together an interesting preseason to date. Like most rookies, Jackson seems to be a work in progress when looking at some of the games he’s been part of, which is completely fine for the Ravens.

Since Griffin or Jackson will most likely only play if something were to happen to Flacco, Baltimore could get away from making the rookie Flacco’s backup to help him learn. As bad as it sounds, there’s a reason why Griffin was unemployed last season, and the Ravens would only be holding themselves back by making him the backup over Jackson.
